Soul Sacrifice Delta

This third-person, fantasy action-adventure game can’t help but echo the older – and more popular – console title Dark Souls through its name, the demonic enemies that populate its fierce landscape and its cursed protagonist. Elsewhere, its originality is more pertinent, in particular within its battle system and character customisation. Although not quite a sequel to the original Soul Sacrifice, Delta does offer an extended story mode. The narrative concerns a man looking to free himself from a sorcerer named Magusar. After finding a magical book (a journal reminiscent of the Book of the Dead from Evil Dead), that tells him the story of another sorcerer, your in-game decisions regarding whether you kill enemies or not affect how chapters in the book will play out. The decisions are based around what to do with someone’s soul after they die, as each time you kill a monster or person you are left with the option to sacrifice or save their soul. Price: £27
